Last 3 or 4 we built with 518 we started as soon as we got the saw back together with no problems. I think cure time in the specs say 42 minutes
The last two saws I worked on are poulans, both were factory sealed with the black silicon stuff, the 5020 I put back together with that old brown permatex #1 as I have done with 5 other saws without any problem, I found I had a tube of the black stuff so I did the 2900 with it, I managed to raise the compresion on the 2900 from 138 to 163 so we will see what happens.

thanks.This is the same thing. They are owned and manufactured by the same company.
Just as difficult to find in Norway as 518

I bought mine through Amazon. Not sure if that's an option for you or not. Maybe also at your local auto parts store.

For those who "fire it up right away", do you use the sealant by itself, or are you also using the surface prep activator (Loctite 37509 or Permatex 24163)?

sure, I have no problem buying over Amazonas.
I am just dissapointed that my land dosent seems to have service. I got the 518 so I am okey, but, it wasnt easy!

Thanks! For the Husky 51 EPA that I just reassembled, I just used the Permatex sealer without any sort of activator. I just cleaned the case/cylinder surfaces with solvent before assembly.
Just wanted to check...

Timely subject, I have to put a Caber ring in a 5000 soon and my 1194 is about gone. I was in a parts store today and looking at the display of Permatex everything they had on their rack at the bottom of the directions all said , do not use this product in the presence of Gasoline . So I will go to another place that has a bigger? display of Permatex and look at them there.

Kinda creepy? NO SIR! I pride myself on being VERY creepy....just ask my kids!
As to Motor Supply, no thanks....as was said many moons ago, "the proof is left as an exercise for the student."
If, however, you're up for a road trip, you can also get the Permatex 51813 from Lytle Racing Group in Tempe, Arizona.
nope Newport for me I think thanks anyway

I have used the anaerobic permatex as well with good results. I just kind of like the 1194 better for no real reason other than it's I just do.
